Hmmn, every citation and link is already Five years old, You would have thought this misinformation would have been corrected by now. Although how could anyone doubt the analytical abilities and statistical competence of the article by Cynthia with such an impressive resume that she has on her web pages.

Forbes debunks Guardisil alarmists
In a nutshell, this excerpt explains why the alarmist 2007 article posted is just wrong
[quote]By the same token, VAERS can�t correlate HPV vaccines with cervical dysplasia, let alone establish a cause-effect relationship, especially when the incidence of cervical dysplasias in the vaccinated population isn�t different than in the population at large. This doesn�t mean that VAERS is a useless, lousy database, it just illustrates how uncritically using a database to probe questions it wasn�t designed or executed to address can lead you in exactly the wrong direction.[/quote]
I admit I am biased againt Ms Janak since she is a prominent spokesperson for the anti vaccine movement. In fairness, she is against all vacines, not just the HPV vaccine so at least her worldview is consistent. Also her latest article laments the "mainstream media" I am not going to link to any of her crazy posts, article or website on vaccines as it pollutes OCF IMO. Believe it or not, she actually publishes articles with titles like : [quote]Why do we get sick after vaccination or medication?[/quote]
Please, please can we have discussions on HPV and vaccines not based on conspiracy theories or woo woo columnists who cannot even understand basic statistical analysis?
